The people who can't perform basic management of a school district want you to believe they are capable of making sound decisions about closing schools and laying off school employees.

All I want for Easter is to build the Bund.

This is now a Jewish Labor Bund/ @mollycrabapple.bsky.social stan account. It fills my heart to see a tradition come alive of Jewish socialist antizionists.

Dorsey wants to evict people from PSH for using… because it’s better when they overdose on the street? Such a cruel argument.

Yes. Yes he is free.

For people skeptical of the allegations against Swalwell, first of all, there are plenty of solid Democratic candidates. Is it too much to ask for one who hasn't been accused of rape? 1/2

Get in everyone, we're defeating fascism all over the world.

As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This weeks episode of @thebugle.bsky.social podcast was needed for my mental health. Spending time with the brilliant and hilarious @alicefraser.bsky.social and Zaltz is a salve. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

It might be confusing for non-Jews, but you may not be aware that the Hebrew word for "ceasefire" literally translates as "not ceasefire, anything but a ceasefire."

We love to see it.

It's always worth reading what @stephenlerner.bsky.social has to say!

I don't often tear up listening to @hellobuglers.bsky.social but @natogreen.bsky.social talking about hope managed it. Magnificent, and thank you

Imagine what a different world we would be living in if we always acted like everyone should be opposed to mass murder.

Apropos of nothing, thinking of James Baldwin today.

#SederInTheStreets! On Pesach, NYC Jews against ICE, “praying with our feet” as Rabbi Heschel would say.

Guess I’ll never get to do a late night set.

Maybe diverting all of our police resources to torturing people experiencing homelessness and disappearing them into black sites for involuntary "treatment" isn't the winning strategy we were told it would be.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Etiquette question: 1) Is it weird to compliment the tattoo of a stranger in public? 2) What if the tattoo is on the back of their legs below the line of their shorts? 3) What if the person I want to compliment is a man who is much more muscular than me? 4) What if I did it like Columbo?

Iranian AI dis track involving Lego Trump blowing Lego Bill Clinton…

So-called liberal zionists in the US want to believe they can be anti-Netanyahu but pro-Israel, while Israeli society keeps heading in the exact opposite direction. Israel is consumed by a deranged ideology of violence that has no place in the civilized world.

It would be Bean Dad, Hilaría Baldwin, or this entire thread excerpted right here.

Lots of wisdom in here for people reflecting on No Kings, from the left, trying to figure out a more radical path.

lol at super left-wing people being mad at No King for being too popular. Our protest movements are only good when we are small and irrelevant circle jerks.

The difference between these two is racism

Wishing for a speedy recovery to this wonderful person and my neighborhood Supervisor.

My friend @myqkaplan.bsky.social has a new album out. I’m a Myq completist because his jokes are all delightful. Do yourself a solid and enjoy this one. open.spotify.com/album/4r0bMY...

I would like a moratorium on people online having opinions about Hasan Piker and/or Lindy West. Thank you.

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Join SF DSA May 1, 2026: No Work, No School, No Shopping! . Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/join-s...

You really can't exaggerate how squarely contrary this rhetoric is to the basic foundational precepts of this country. These people *hate* the actually existing United States.

And @scottwiener.bsky.social is reportedly working behind the scenes to kill because he lied when he said he now thinks Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and that the West Bank pogroms are bad actually. He will continue supporting Palestinian death in Congress. bit.ly/support2159

This is authoritarianism.

I put on my spotify "daylist" and the title of the playlist was "soul jazz r&B coastal grandmother tuesday evening" so I've just been roasted by a robot how is your day going? I'm really feeling this playlist though.

I've gotten the world-shaking information that the Bible may not be an accurate historical source, specifically that the Jews may not have actually been slaves in Egypt and therefore the whole passover seder is built on a lie. Blowing my mind. I'm digging in.

No thank you. My socialism is more fun.

Normally the Democrats have to point out that we're starving the social safety net to feed an insatiable war machine, but Mike Johnson just went right out and said it.

Stop naming things after people. People had their chance. There are bad people and people you don’t know the bad shit they did yet. I support only naming stuff after the natural world. Rename Cesar Chávez Blvd into Amaranth Blvd.

“It is almost certain that the president routinely shits his pants. That’s what makes him funny but it’s not even close to what makes him a bad president.” —something very funny a family member (who would know about the shitting) said to me at dinner tonight

What is the name of the taste quality of light roast coffee that all light roast coffee has that is supposed to be amazing if you are discerning but actually tastes horrible?

ok well fuck Cesar Chavez then.

Tonight’s drink is the Strange Weaver using orgeat. It’s quite delicious and complex.

Everybody else can go home.

Your moment in media literacy: the article gives a LOT of space to the critics in ways it would not if the measure was backed by business. It repeats talking points about businesses leaving because of the tax but doesn't mention that businesses didn't leave because of the tax the first time.

Getting so many combination Friday the 13th, pi day, Ides of March gifts this weekend. Feels unfair.

This is from a couple of weeks ago but it's good weekend reading. When authoritarians plan coup d'etat to cancel elections, the only viable response is for all of civil society to flood the streets and shut everything down until he has to flee on a helicopter to hide in Russia.

DOGE’s mass firings disproportionately impacted Black women, completely upending their lives and careers. Our communities—and all working people—need their expertise and skills to keep our government and the essential services we all rely on running.

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid. The Democrats!
